BREAKING: 'Even if we knew Gulf countries would be hit, big deal we did what we have to do': Trump 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/s2q1rc?update=…


Trump: UFC is going to be here. Dana White, he's building literally a stadium, a 5,000 seat arena right outside the front door of the WH… happens to be my birthday. It's going to be broadcast on CBS, which is the Ellison family, two great people, great people. It's a great family. We’re going to have Indy car here and race around the capital.











⚡️This is a bad sign. A mandatory ordered departure from Saudi Arabia means the people closest to the board think the conflict is about to widen in a way that could hit U.S. personnel, Saudi territory, or both. Bureaucracies do not like sudden visible fear unless the internal threat picture has changed. This kind of move says private risk assessment just got uglier than the public script. The deepest signal here is that Washington is repricing the probability of spillover into the Gulf heartland. That matters because Saudi Arabia sits at the center of three critical systems: oil infrastructure regional legitimacy American security architecture When the State Department starts pulling people out, it suggests those systems are no longer being treated as comfortably insulated from the war. The war is therefore crossing another threshold.



"China's nightmare" is the US controlling 31% of the world's oil. Graham just framed the war as a resource grab against China. Not a word about Iranians. Just oil and geopolitics.

The president speaking at his golf course to the leaders of Latin American nations at the “Shield of Americas.” This guy is clinically demented. Try to read it. “I'd love to get to your countries at some point. Marco loves going to your countries. He's always at one of these countries. He likes your countries the best, OK? You know, where are you? I mean, Chile, how good, how is Chile doing? Good. He likes it. He feels very calm. We all like him, right? It helps. He's got a language-- he's got a language advantage over me. Because I'm not learning your damn language. I don't have time. I was OK with languages. But I'm not going to spend time learning your language. That much I want to. Just give me a good interpreter. Interpreter? Very important. And I know if somebody's good. I may not speak the language. But I know I had an interpreter recently that wasn't good, talking to a very strong person from a different part of the world. And I could tell, even though I-- even though I don't speak the language, I could tell the interpreter was not good. When you go, uh, uh, uh, when I give a long flowing, beautiful sentence, and in this case, it was a woman. And she gave it in about one fourth at the time. I said, well, their language may be efficient. But it's not that efficient. And I could also tell one half great interpreters. Interpreter is very important. You have a bad interpreter. You think you're doing well? What did I do a good job talking to? This one of that was I great when I spoke to Putin today. Was I great when I spoke to President? And she was I great. But if the interpreter is speaking right or is weak or is ineffective or not good or not interpreting your words correctly, um, in one case we had an interpreter who once you disagreed with what we were saying, you actually changed it. We considered her a foreign minister, right? But what no, the interpreter is-- I talk about it all the time. Interpreters are really important. When you don't speak the language, they don't speak the language. It's you people have no idea. People have no idea how valuable. And I'm on them all the time. People have no idea how valuable a good interpreter is.”





Peter Thiel and JD Vance’s muse, late French philosopher René Girard has a theory about “Mimetic desires” leading inevitably to “apocalyptic violence.” Thiel’s henchman Jeff Giesea, who managed MAGA3X in 2016, wrote a paper in 2015 about “memetic warfare” leading to violence. When I say Peter Thiel is the closest approximation to the Antichrist, it’s because he has been willing to play the long game of *creating* apocalyptic violence through psychological/memetic warfare, in order to profit from it. His entire operation is set up not only to profit from chaos and death, but to create demand for his products by running chaos operations to feed his own companies, e.g. Palantir, MAGA3X, Bitcoin. Thiel’s bankroll is Robert and Rebekah Mercer, the hedge fund lunatics that funded Bannon, Breitbart, Parler, Cambridge Analytica, Tucker Carlson, etc. and launder billions of dollars for Vladimir Putin. Their claim to be “Christian” is nonsense. These are godless psychopaths who are on a mission to destroy liberal democracy so they can strip us down and sell us off in parts.
